Another reason to appoint a special counsel to protect funding for special counsel.

MGT has threaten to defund the special counsel.

But it has been observed that the Special Counsel is not funded in the DOJ budget but from a special Treasury Department fund that MGT cannot touch. Anyway such a bill to do so would have to pass in the Senate and Biden.

Thanks, Jay. You have answered the key criticisms and pretty much allayed my concerns about the special counsel. I am confident that indictments will follow and the government's cases will be solid. My greatest fear remains the question of seating a satisfactory impartial jury, as well as assuring that if such a jury is found, that it will remain free of tampering. I look forward to your thoughts on this in a future column. Meanwhile, all the best in London. You may be the world's greatest juggler. ;-)

I truly hope you are right, but I am pessimistic. A failure to indict Trump would be a lasting signal about our inability to hold anyone of power accountable.

I also considered that the magas could claim that Garland was acting out of anger for not being nominated judge, anything to make excuses for the traitor. Thank you as always and I hope and have little doubt that you will enjoy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for this analysis (and Michael Stayton's notes on funding!) I have been listening to the podcast "Ultra" by Rachel Maddow https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra about the America First/Nazi tie-ins during WW2 and the parallels are chilling. Highly recommended!!

Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra

Sitting members of Congress aiding and abetting a plot to overthrow the government. Insurrectionists criminally charged with plotting to end American democracy for good. Justice Department prosecutors under crushing political pressure. Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra is the all-but-forgotten true story of good, old-fashioned American extremism getting supercharged by proximity to power. When extremist elected officials get caught plotting against America with the violent ultra right, this is the story of the lengths they will go to… to cover their tracks.
